Register now to attend a one-day hands-on retreat in support of the textbook affordability plan requirement in HB 2213 (passed in 2019). The retreat will be facilitated by Jeff Gallant, Program Director of Affordable Learning Georgia, GALILEO/USG Board of Regents.
Individuals and planning teams from Oregon’s public community colleges and universities are invited to attend in order to share work completed to date; strategize about buy-in, goal-setting, and professional development; and make progress on your plan starting from any stage of development.
Part-time faculty and staff are eligible for stipends for attendance and supplemental childcare.
Before you attend:
- Read HB 2213
- Identify stakeholders, even if they are not attending the retreat
- Know the basics:
